Would the Cowboys be 4-1 with Dak?

[BlueStar22]

I don't think anyone on this board can honestly say "yes".
And that speaks volumes.

I can...

Be honest; if Dak hadn't gotten hurt in the 19-3 drubbing at the hands of Tom Brady and the Buccaneers, who believes the Cowboys would have won the next four games?
Do you think a Dak led offense would have beat Cincinnati and Los Angeles- last year's Super Bowl teams- and the now 4-1 Giants and 2-4 "Commanders" in a 4 game stretch?

Too hard to say and doesn't really matter

 

[Pompey-Cowboy]

Yes

 

[Dakota]

You don’t have the #1 defense, and it would have been extraordinarily unlikely to have the #1 offense even if you had huge games every week because of the opening game against TB. None of the other top offenses have anything like that

I said top rated not #1. There is a subtle difference.

What makes them top rated

Sacks, take aways points allowed. Pretty simple.

Buffalo is #1 in 2 of those 3 categories….

And your point is? To be a top rated defense you have to be #1 in every category? You're a silly fella.

Hell no

Dak has been lousy taking care of the football, too many interceptions, fumbles and sacks as well. That puts tremendous pressure on the defense. Rush is not nearly as talented as Dak but has played clean. That is huge and why we are winning.

Game 1 Dak just looked bad. Much less accurate than usual, and less accurate than Rush has been since. It's not just getting healthy with Dak. He needs to get a lot sharper than he was in Game 1 when he was healthy.

You didn’t say they were “a” top rated, you said #1

The only reason we wouldn’t be 4-1 with Dak is because the Cowboys would still be pass happy with Dak having to carry the offense. The Cowboys have been playing offense much more conservatively with Rush to avoid him making mistakes. We’re running the ball much more and trying to get the ball out of his hand quick. We’re not being real creative on offense and aren’t taking a lot of chances. He only had to attempt 16 passes last week because of our running game and defense.

We couldn’t run the football in the opener and our defense wasn’t nearly as good as we’ve seen since Rush took over. Tampa put up over 150 yards rushing against us and we only sacked Brady twice. That’s not nearly the same defense we’ve seen with Cooper Rush at QB. Fans are kidding themselves if they think we would have won that game with him but you have a lot of fools on here that hate Dak so much they’ve brainwashed themselves into believing that. Lol

Nope. Not the only reason. Dak played poorly in Game 1. Maybe a fluke, and maybe he just wasn't prepared for the season. We know he *can* play better, and has usually played much better, and better than what we've seen from Rush.
But Dak's Game 1 was significantly worse than what we've seen from Rush since. It's reasonable to wonder if Dak just wasn't ready for the season, and will still play worse than Rush when he is 100% healthy. Rush is playing well if not spectacularly. I'm not putting Dak at least until we see him in practice *looking good*.

"Yes we would be 4-1 and our offense would be the #1 offense in the league along with our top rated defense. " NEXT!!!

Reading comprehension was never your strong suit was it. Lay off the booze, kickoff is still several hours away, you'll pass out and miss the game

 

[Shane612]

More like 3-2 or even 2-3.

Why is this even a question? First of all, I don't care how we're 4-1....we're 4-1.

That being said, Dak is clearly the number one QB. He's a top 10 QB in the NFL.

Yes, we'd be 4-1.

"Top 10 QB in the NFL"
They should put that his tombstone, since that means so much to so many of his fans.

 

[America's Cowboy]

There you go, bringing up Romo all the time. He's is gone, period! You cannot have Dak because he has a girlfriend.

However, I know why you bring Romo up because he is or was 10 time the QB that your lover boy will ever be! BAM!

YOU CANNOT HAVE DAK, HE IS TAKEN!

It's funny how you always revert to homosexual rants. Quit showing everyone what you are. Sheesh.

How could they?

 

[JoeKing]

They would be 5-0 without Dak.

 

[Shane612]

More like 2-3.

 

[Dakota]

How could they?

Ummm...the same way they did last season. Am I actually conversing with a bot? You don't seem very bright.
